Tip: Using iRule to comment your configuration

As iRules are the only place you can put comments in a BigIP configuration, it occured to me that they could be used to document your config, like a change log:

rule change-log {
 17/7/2006 - stephen - Add virtuals for Bordermanager
 10/7/2006 - stephen - Initial build
}

or any other noteworthy item:

rule comments {
 Note that blah-vip has a public IP, but access to it is not allowed through the firewall
 until QA testing is complete. 
}

It's a pity you can't make them show at the top of your config, but it is better than nothing.

If anyone thinks this is a bad idea, let me know, otherwise I'm going to start doing this.
